Default 3m hi-performance tape???

Okay finally received my exhaust plate from Ecklers but NO 3M hi-performance tape to stick it to the car. It's AMAZING .. the part costs $64.99 and now I have to figure out where I can buy this tape to stick it on. They could have at least included that in there and charged me for it.

Does anyone have an idea where I can buy the 3M hi-performance tape? I don't want to buy a substitute that will make the plate fall off !!

Return it and ask them to send you a "complete" one.

Auto Zone has the exact automotive 3m doublesided tape. I just bought some there.

3M mounting tape is what i've been using. I've seen it ONLY at Sears and office max. The super stuff has a holding strength of 5 PSI and the transparent stuff has a strength of 2 PSI. It's awesome stuff, but not very forgiving of placement errors.

Prices are around $5/ roll.
